Introduction

Hong Kong Union for Young Leaders (HKUYL) is a non-profit making, student-based organization, registered under the Societies Ordinance (REF.CP/LIC/SO/19/1088). Established in October 1992, the Union has been inspiring teenagers and nurturing the leadership potential within each of them for more than two whole decades, helping them to find their own definition of leadership. It has been the Union’s goal to seek out and acknowledge secondary school students with outstanding leadership skills. It is also the Union’s mission to increase their local awareness, as well as to promote a sense of global citizenship and commitment to the community they reside in. Each year, two F.4 students from each member school (hereafter addressed as Campers) are selected as representatives of their respective schools within the Union. Campers will undergo various seminars, leadership training camps and workshops, where they will have the chance to interact with recognized leaders in society.

The first activity of the year is the Global Awareness Project (GAP). Throughout a series of workshops, the Project aims at raising the awareness of Campers on various local and global issues through researching examples and situations of different countries. Campers, representing groups of elites and ambassadors from Hong Kong, will be tasked with identifying and analysing imminent global problems, of which they will have to come up with solutions with reference to the work done by their assigned countries. The climax of the Global Awareness Project is the World Congress, in which Campers will have to present their solutions to their peers in a formal manner and undergo negotiations and debates with other groups. The Global Awareness Project aims at helping Campers realize their identity as global citizens, such that they can mature into responsible and visionary leaders who not only show knowledge of the world they reside in, but are also able to apply what they have learnt from around the world to evaluate and solve local issues, and ultimately, to display compassion and commitment towards the world community.

At the rear of the Global Awareness Project is the Youth Leadership Seminar (YLS), another highlight of the Union since its establishment. The Youth Leadership Seminar is an extensive programme consisting of interactive workshops, lectures and discussions given by inspiring leaders from different walks of life, and a leadership training camp towards the end of the Seminar. Throughout the Seminar, Campers are guided to improve on different aspects of leadership, such as effective communication and collaborative work. A four-day-three-night camp will mark the apex of the Union’s activities as Campers will undergo simulations, group games and reflections, learning and understanding the qualities of a good leader. The Youth Leadership seminar is not merely a place for nurturing future leaders; rather, it is a platform for budding leaders from outstanding schools to exchange ideas and form lifelong friendships.

Community Ties (CT), as tit led, stresses on community-mindedness. The programme includes volunteer work and service done for the underprivileged and less fortunate minorities in Hong Kong. This programme aims to raise Campers’ awareness and empathy for those who are less privileged than they are, and to provide with them a chance to actualize their leadership skills. The Community Ties also serves as an effective way to show Campers the less-bourgeoisie community that Hong Kong shelters behind its metropolitan facade, such that they will reflect on their positions and responsibilities in the community.

As was the case in previous years, around ten outstanding campers who have demonstrated remarkable leadership will be nominated to participate in the Hugh O’Brian Youth World Leadership Congress (HOBY WLC) in Chicago during the summer, four of whom will receive full sponsorship from the government. The World Leadership Congress is an international platform where leaders from all around the globe converge and construct friendships, while undergoing cultural exchange in which Campers are offered a global perspective towards various matters and different aspects of leadership.

Introduction

During the summer holiday, Campers will have to actualize their leadership skills after GAP, YLS and CT through the Camper-cum-Committee Project (CCC). After a year of nurturing and inspiration, Campers come together to organise and discuss a brand-new project of their own, with the Committee Board acting merely as guidance behind the scenes. Campers shall also demonstrate the maximum capacity they have, and pass on the UYL magic that has been kindled in each and every UYLer’s mind to the non-UYLers. As the final mission of Campers, they can run for posts on the Election Day for the very first time and work in different departments along the way. CCC is the perfect once-in-a-lifetime chance for Campers to exercise and explore true leadership, as well as to demonstrate teamwork and faith in their fellow Campers, as they strive together as one to come up with an unforgettable activity both for themselves and for the participants. This, as the final touch of the year, will prove to be a lifelong memory for all campers.

The 23rd HKUYL marks the start of a new era, a legacy of the two decades of effort in inspiring and motivating leaders of tomorrow. It is the joint effort of the perseverance of our predecessors who have earned the Union a sound reputation amongst the local community,and it is this joint endeavor we share as the 23rd Committee Board that allows us to stride over the miles, and to continue inspiring tomorrow’s leaders today.

Theme

Throughout the 22 years, with the incessant devotion of UYLers, our Union has fostered countless passionate young leaders who are striving hard for a refinement in various aspects. The Union has long been emboldening Campers to aspire their associate, to seep the UYL magic into their own communities and to explore the boundless unknown. Action speaks louder than words. In the 23rd year, we hope to inspire our Campers to make an impact in our society with the theme ‘Stride over the Miles’. As the leaders of tomorrow, it is vital for us to pave our ways with enthusiasm, determination and perseverance. We cannot keep compiling our dreams with words, but with actions in the communities. With the zeal for a refinement in our society, we should foster an acumen mind and carefully tile our action plan. In their year in the Union, Campers will be encouraged to discover their own path and be equipped with leadership skills that would aid them on their way. More importantly, they will have to step away from their comfort zone and take the first step of their journey. While opening up these unascertained courses, Campers will encounter unpredictable trials. To conquer these trials, a complete disregard for where their abilities end is the key to success. Breakthroughs are made by courageous predecessors to put their ingenious ideas into practice. Achieve the unachievable is doubtless the machete for us to discover the concealed. To set off this life-and-world-changing trail, Campers will have to pave their avenues towards their goals with creativity and persistence. This road is not only for ourselves, but a pathway for others to follow, an exemplification for people to imitate, a platform for inspiring more innovations to enrich our society. By constructing more and more trails, it will then become a network that stimulate advancements and be further transformed into a chain reaction—Individuals influenced by individuals.

Mile is not only a unit of measurement of how long our ways are, but a record of our endeavor and endurance. Evaluating the past while foreseeing the future is an imperative quality a leader should posses. We cannot keep reminiscing the compliments and achievement we had in the past, but driving ourselves to review the paths we have been through. Last year, UYLers have explored the uncharted destinations. Now, it is time for us to take that very first stride towards them, to realize our missions, and to actualize our dreams.
